Knowledge Restaurant — Restaurant in Sunderland

Decor and view from windows were beautiful. The cocktail menu itself is exquisite. Finely put together amazing flavours. The cocktails are actually devine, beautifully presented and not shy on the alcohol. So decor, view, music, staff, cocktails and drinks menu 10/10

Sunday roast verdict - can I just say I don't usually eat my mash on a roast I'm so not a fan however this may be the best mash I have tasted ever so thank you. The beef was beautifully cooked not dry at all, I weren't keen on the veg it had a funny aftertaste the broccoli and carrots and there wasn't much. Yorkshire and gravy were fab aswell 👌 7.5/10

The American Sniper burger was huge and was really tasty. Pulled pork and cheesy croquette. Served with skin on fries rated a good 8/10

Creme brulee for dessert. 😍 oh my. This was 10/10 no words. It was served with a chocolate sort of mouse/thick cream which was absolutely beautiful 😍

Overall 9/10 such a nice place I was pleasantly surprised for Sunderland. This has upped the game for SR dining. Thank you...

I have had better Italian food, not to my liking, Certainly won’t be in a hurry too go back, and if you going to give a customer a complimentary shot afterwards, give to...

Knowledge at The Boar's Head is a treat. Probably the finest restaurant in Sunderland and certainly a favourite over the whole Tyne and Wear area. The attentive service is always delightful and the stunning view of the Wearmouth bridge paints the city in a view not seen so often. The outside terrace overlooking the river is a must in summer.

Of the food, be sure to ask what's good, as there are often specials, then order the very slow cooked Genovese style ragu. We recently visited for a (shockingly) affordable five-course tasting menu with wine pairings that would have shamed so many more well known, and more expensive, places.

Do consider a visit, even if it's a little further afield than...
